How do you mean you can get a 10 MB connection in Sweden? I live in Sweden, and I´m not quite sure what you mean...

I guess you could kinda say I have one of those... Our ISP has put a bunch of cable in our building, your computer in one end, and router/switch and so on in the other end, and then fibercable out of the building... Well, at least it´s 100Mb/s MAX, which means you practically never reach those speeds... :)

But no-one advertises them as "10MB" connections... Everything is measured in Megabits/s... Probably because 100 sounds more than 10... :)

Well, I am connected to it, via a whole bunch of hardware, but I dont know the exact capacity of it... All of it consists of fiber cable... Thats about as much as I know about them... :)
